Tofu Chilla Wrap

1. 1

   Prepare the besan batter

   • Measure the besan into a large mixing bowl
   • Add water, turmeric, and salt
   • Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of lumps

   TIPLet the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate for a smoother texture.
2. 2

   Cook the tofu and vegetable filling

   • Crumble the firm tofu into small pieces by hand
   • Sauté the tofu with diced onion and green bell pepper in a lightly oiled pan
   • Season with garam masala and cook until the vegetables are tender

   TIPPress the tofu between paper towels before crumbling to remove excess moisture for a better sear.
3. 3

   Pan-fry the besan chilla

   Pour the batter onto a hot, lightly oiled tava or non-stick skillet and spread into a thin, even circle. Cook for approximately two minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear and the edges are crisp.

4. 4

   Fill and roll the wrap

   • Place the sautéed tofu filling in the center of the warm chilla
   • Top with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice
   • Roll the chilla tightly around the filling and serve immediately
